HEAT-UTILIZING DEVICE.

Application filed April 21, 1924. Serial No. 708,066.

The present invention relates to a heatutilizing device and has for itsprincipal objectto provide a device which is adapted to be used with gasstoves and the like so that two cooking utensils may be heated from thesame burner.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this natureWhich is eX- tremely simple and eiiicient in construction, reliable inoperat-ion land Well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With the above and numerous other objects in vieu7 as will appear as thedescription progresses, the invention relates to certain novel featuresof construction, and the combination and arrangement of parts as will behereinafter more fully described.

In the drawing z- Figure 1 is a top plan of the device, a p0rtionthereof being shoivn in section,

Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof,

Figure 3 is a longitudinal vertical section,

Figure 4 is a transverse section,

Figure 5 is a plan vievv of an attachment used with the device, and

Figure 6 is a detailed section taken on the line 6 6 of Figure 1 lookingin the direction ot the arrow.

Referring' to the drawing in detail it Will be seen that the deviceconsists oi a pair of spaced bars 1 to one end of which are connected asemi-circular band 2 which is provided with a depending apron 3 that isadapted to encircle the flame in the stove to form a heat chamber. Theupper edges oit the bars 1 are slanted so as to extend upwardly from theband 2. A U-shaped band 4 is attached to the other ends of the bars 1and its legs are provided on their upper edges with notches 5. Adetiector plate 6 is arranged over the upper edges of the bars 1 so asto deflect the hea-t in the chamber formed by the band 2 to the chamberformed by the band 4. A zig-zag band 7 is arranged about the band 2 soas to prevent cooking 45 utensils placed on band 2 from tilting. Asimilar band 8 is arranged about the band 4 so as to form triangularcompartments 9 one at each of its legs and body portion. Vben a cookingutensil is situated on the band 4 50 the heat will be passed through thenotches 5 into the compartments 8 and 9 adjacent the legs oit' the band4 but not into the compartment adjacent its body or intermediateportion. The triangular chambers S and 9 in 55 which the heat is allowedto pass are provided With outlet notches 10 as shown in Figure 6 at thebottom thereof.

In Figure 5 I have illustrated a reducing plate 12 Which is provided-With a cent-ral 60 opening 13. This plate is formed with a reducedextension 14 at one end thereof which is provided with depending cleats15 thereby preventing the same from slipping oli' of the band 2 when itis situated thereon. 65 A handle 16 is provided on the plate 12 so thatthe same may be lifted and placed in and out of engagement with the band2 as may be desired. This reducer plate 12 is also adapted to be usedWith the band 4 70 When found desirable.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new is A device ofthe class described comprisinga U-shaped band, a zig-Zag band securedabout the U-shaped band to form triangular compartments one oppositeeach of the legs and body portion of said band, the terminals of saidzig-zag band being parallel and etitended beyond the legs of theU-shaped band, S0 a semi-circular band, and a Zig-Zag band, securedabout the semi-circular band, the terminals of the semi-circular bandand the vzigzag band carried thereby being secured CARL R.
